Beach Peach Lemonade Cocktail

Craving the flavor of a tropical beach getaway in a glass? The Beach Peach Lemonade is a fruity, fizzy, and beautifully layered cocktail that captures the golden hour of summer in every sip. Combining the juicy smoothness of Crown Royal Peach with the tang of lemonade and the sparkle of Sprite, this drink is topped off with a sunset-hued splash of grenadine. It’s perfect for lazy afternoons, backyard gatherings, BBQ parties, or just pretending you’re on vacation while lounging at home.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

To make one tall serving of Beach Peach Lemonade, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1.5 oz Crown Royal Peach – a Canadian whisky infused with natural peach flavor.
  • ½ cup lemonade – fresh-squeezed or high-quality store-bought.
  • ½ cup Sprite – or any lemon-lime soda for bubbly sweetness.
  • 1 splash grenadine – for the visual “sunset” effect and a hint of cherry sweetness.
  • Ice – crushed or cubed.
  • Garnish:
    • 1 lemon wedge
    • 1 fresh peach slice (or frozen/canned if out of season)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Choose a tall highball or Collins glass for presentation. Fill the glass with ice all the way to the top. Crushed ice works best for a frosty finish, but regular ice cubes will also work well.

Step 2: Add the Crown Royal Peach

Pour 1.5 oz (one jigger) of Crown Royal Peach over the ice. This forms the boozy base of your cocktail. The peach flavor will shine through with just the right amount of sweetness.

Step 3: Pour in the Lemonade

Add ½ cup of lemonade directly into the glass. The tartness of the lemonade balances out the sweetness of the peach whisky and keeps the drink refreshing—not syrupy.

Step 4: Add the Sprite

Next, pour ½ cup of Sprite over the lemonade. The carbonation lightens the drink and gives it a lively, sparkling feel on the tongue.

Step 5: Add the Grenadine

Slowly pour a splash of grenadine into the drink. The syrup will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful layered “sunset” effect—bright red at the base fading into golden peach at the top. Avoid stirring if you want to preserve this visual.

Notes

  • Lemonade Quality: The lemonade you choose can make or break this drink. Avoid overly sweetened lemonade made from concentrate. Fresh-squeezed or organic varieties deliver a brighter, fresher taste.
  • Grenadine Pouring: To achieve the layered effect, pour the grenadine slowly over the back of a spoon close to the surface of the drink. This helps it sink without mixing.
  • Peach Slices: Use fresh ripe peaches when in season. In colder months, canned peaches (in juice, not syrup) or frozen peach slices thawed slightly will still do the trick.
